Today was a good day for us. Our own Diego Silva, our Head of Technical Sales, joined a master's class at the Universidad Autónoma de Madrid and showed wxrks to more than 20 students. We're proud of him, and we're grateful to Professor Irene Atalaya for opening her classroom to us.
Right after the class, Diego sent the whole team a message we're still smiling about.
"It's a great showcase of wxrks for the next generation of translators and project managers, who will soon be in the market choosing their tools."
Irene first met wxrks as a master's student herself, and she has wanted to bring it to her own students since last year. We had a date set for November 2025, until a strike at Spain's public universities canceled it. So walking into that classroom meant a lot to us.
Her course, Procesos de automatización de la traducción, is about how AI can make a translator's work faster and easier, which is exactly the conversation we love to have. Her students already hold degrees in translation and are specializing in localization and audiovisual translation, so the questions were sharp. We showed them how wxrks works for managers, admins, and linguists, and the class asked questions all the way through. At least ten of them have already opened free wxrks accounts to keep exploring on their own. Welcome, all of you.
Translation students graduate into jobs where AI writes the first draft and a person decides what ships. The more they practice that before graduation, the more confident they are on day one.
Madrid joins a group of universities we're proud to work with. A few have also written about us on their own websites. Here's what they published, what we offer any translation program, and how your university can join us.
wxrks on university websites
Middlebury Institute of International Studies at Monterey (MIIS)
wxrks is listed on middlebury.edu. The Translation and Localization Management program names us on its Technology Partnerships page, next to the other software its students train on. In the program's own words, "wxrks offers students free access to learn how to use modern translation tools."
Our work together goes back years. In 2022, MIIS students tested how far automation can go in localization, from quoting to choosing the right translator to checking quality. In 2019, MIIS listed us among the companies that hosted its summer interns.
Ionian University, Corfu, Greece
wxrks is listed on ionio.gr. The Department of Foreign Languages, Translation and Interpreting names us on its Connection to the Industry page, among the translation software companies it works with. The page uses our former name, Bureau Works.
UC Berkeley, Master of Analytics
wxrks is featured on berkeley.edu. In March 2026, the Master of Analytics program published a Q&A with our CEO, Gabriel Fairman, about AI and the future of global content. It followed an online session Gabriel gave the program's students in February, hosted by its Career Services team.
Pages like these help students choose a program. They show what the program teaches, and they tell employers what its graduates already know how to do.
Why we partner with universities
Gabriel has a clear view on how to teach translation. He thinks programs should put reading, writing, and critical thinking ahead of any single tool. In his words, "Imagine spending four years learning a technique that's obsolete by the time you graduate."
We agree, and it shapes what we offer. The software should be quick to learn, so class time goes to the craft.
There is a second reason. wxrks is built so the translator stays the author and the machine takes the drudgery. Students will set the standard for how translators work with AI. We want them to learn it on a tool that keeps them in charge.
How we can train your students
A free account for every student. Our free plan includes unlimited users and 60,000 words a year. Students work in the same editor professionals use, with translation memory (a library of approved past translations), glossaries, and machine translation built in.
Two short courses with a certificate. Foundations for Linguists teaches the translator's side in 11 lessons and ends with a quiz and a Certified badge. Foundations for Project Managers covers projects, task assignment, and delivery in 14 lessons. Both are free in the wxrks community classroom, and anyone can watch the lessons.
A session with our team. We can run an online session for your class, like the one Gabriel gave at Berkeley. Topics include AI in translation, translation quality, and how translators stay in charge of the machine.
Real scenarios for class projects. MIIS students used wxrks to test automated quotes and translator assignment. Your students can run a full project, from the source file to the delivered translation, the way a company's translation team does.
Publish your partnership on your own site
If your program teaches with wxrks, tell your students and your peers. A page on your own university website means more to students and employers than anything we publish about ourselves.
Three ways to do it.
- Add wxrks to the page that lists the software your program teaches, as MIIS and Ionian University did.
- Write up a guest session or a workshop with our team, as Berkeley did.
- Publish a student project made in wxrks, like a translated website or a shared glossary.
Send us the link when it is live, and we will add your university to the list in this post. If it helps, we will also send you a short description of wxrks and our logo files.
Start with one class
You don't need a formal agreement to begin. Give one class free accounts, assign the Foundations for Linguists course, and see how your students take to it.
Then tell us about your program, what you teach, and what your students need.
